Abstract
This presentation examines print as a platform of multiple dimensions, providing an essential link between the traditions of handmade print and the use of new technologies. Exploring the potential of scale using photopolymer intaglio-type printing, using the material capabilities of the printed surface to connect what is viewed and experienced, I will reflect on my experience of this medium along with the research methods, practices, and technologies. More directly, this body of work considers ideas around the re-interpretation and repositioning of traditional printmaking skills and processes as part of a wider cross-disciplinary art practice. Large intaglio plates incorporate photopolymer technology to offer a view combining digital interpretation with the traditions of the hand-created mark and printed intaglio surface, resulting in a re-imagined vision linking digital aesthetics.
